E3 2018: Overcooked 2 Announcement Trailer

12. Jun, 2018

I’m so happy. Team 17 and Ghost Town Games just announced Overcooked 2 for the PlayStation 4. Take a look below at the trailer for one of the best co-op games I have ever played and stay tuned to PS Nation for more news on this game and many others during E3 2018.

Team17, a global games label, creative partner and developer of independent, premium video games in partnership with the indie developer Ghost Town Games has today announced Overcooked 2, the sequel to the award-winning chaotic couch co-op cooking game. Overcooked 2 brings all new kitchens, recipes, chefs, and even more Kevin to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch™, and PC on August 7th.

The Onion Kingdom is in peril again and this time it is the fault of the Onion King himself! Reading aloud from the fabled Necronomnomicon, he has cooked up a real problem in the form of a doughy but dangerous army of UNDEAD BREAD called…The Unbread! The Onion King needs you, so chop, fry and bake your way through an all new series of crazy kitchens to defeat them and save the kingdom.

Overcooked 2 is a chaotic co-op cooking game for 1-4 players in which you must serve a variety of recipes including sushi, pasta, cakes, burgers and burritos to hungry customers in a series of unconventional kitchens. Whether it be a hot air balloon, a magical Wizard’s school or even another planet, you’ll have to be bready for anything. Work solo or with up to three friends to prep orders while overcoming obstacles such as fire, collapsing floors, overbearing waiters and of course, the classic kitchen problem of floating work surfaces.

Online multiplayer! For the first time you can cook up a storm with up to four players in both local and online multiplayer

Throwing! Throwing is now an official game mechanic, allowing you to toss ingredients to your fellow chefs or even straight into the pan/blender/onto the floor

New level mechanics! Overcooked 2 sees the introduction of new game mechanics including moving walkways, controllable platforms and even portals!

Dynamic levels! Throwing you from the frying pan and into the fire, dynamic levels will change around you, offering a new challenge to overcome as the recipes and levels themselves change!

Interactive world map! As you drive, sail and soar your way around the map in the Onion King’s amphibious air bus you will open up new areas using hidden buttons around the world

Kitchens! From the neon lights of a sushi restaurant to the bubbling pots of a Wizard school kitchen, there are plenty of places to cook up a storm in Overcooked 2!

Recipes! From spaghetti to sushi and pancakes to pizza, recipes both old and new will need to be cooked to perfection (or at least not burnt to a crisp!) New recipes mean new ingredients and new equipment so even the most well-seasoned Overcooked players will be challenged.

Chefs! Overcooked 2 introduces a whole host of new of chefs to play in the kitchen including an eagle, mouse, beaver and what kitchen is complete without an octopus!

Budding chefs can pre-order Overcooked 2 to receive the ‘Too Many Cooks’ DLC pack which includes five chefs: Alien, Walrus, Unicorn, Monkey and Calico Cat.
